Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wire manufacturing, in particular to a cooling water tank for timely cooling of wire extrusion. Background Art
[0002] In the wire manufacturing industry, cooling troughs are critical equipment, primarily used to cool the plastic outer layer after extrusion, ensuring stable dimensions and a smooth surface. They are typically used on wire extrusion lines, where the extruded, high-temperature plastic outer layer rapidly solidifies after cooling in the trough to prevent deformation or bending caused by thermal expansion and contraction. The cooling trough operates by evenly dissipating heat from the wire's surface through a water circulation or spray system.
[0003] The traditional wire extrusion cooling trough is a crucial cooling device. Its structure typically includes a trough body, a water circulation system, guide rails and brackets, and a liquid level control and drainage system. The trough body is constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, ensuring long-term cooling water circulation. The water circulation system uses a water pump to maintain stable water flow and temperature, and some equipment is equipped with a heat exchanger to regulate the water temperature. Guide rails or brackets within the trough guide the wires smoothly through the trough, preventing them from straying from their path due to buoyancy or water flow disturbances. Liquid level sensors and regulators maintain the water level in the trough, preventing fluctuations in the water level from affecting the cooling effect. A drainage system at the bottom facilitates the cleaning and replacement of cooling water, maintaining cleanliness and efficient operation of the equipment. This design provides reliable cooling during the wire extrusion process and is a key component of wire manufacturing production lines.
[0004] However, traditional cooling troughs suffer from insufficient path constraints and inconvenient impurity handling during the wire cooling process. During high-speed extrusion and cooling, wires are prone to bending and deformation due to thermal expansion and contraction or water flow disturbances. The lack of effective path fixing devices makes it difficult to ensure product straightness and quality. Furthermore, plastic particles and sediment generated during the cooling process easily accumulate, causing water quality to deteriorate and affecting cooling effectiveness. Fixed filter designs increase the difficulty of cleaning and replacement, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increases downtime and reduces production efficiency.
[0005] In view of the above problems, a cooling water tank for timely cooling of wire extrusion is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the utility model provides a cooling water trough for timely cooling of wire extrusion, aiming to solve the problems of bending deformation caused by insufficient path constraints during wire cooling, and the inconvenience of impurity handling affecting water quality and cooling efficiency.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cooling water trough for timely cooling of wire extrusion, comprising a water trough, a cooling and anti-rolling mechanism provided inside the water trough, a water pump provided at the rear of the water trough, an output end of the water pump fixedly connected to a water outlet pipe, an input end of the water pump fixedly connected to a water inlet pipe, a drainage mechanism installed at the bottom of the side wall of the water trough, and a quick-release mechanism provided on the outside of the drainage mechanism;
[0008] The cooling anti-roll mechanism includes two fixed plates, and three circular long cylinders with gradually decreasing inner diameters are installed between the two fixed plates. A plurality of water holes are opened inside the circular long cylinders.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The quick-release mechanism includes a card box, the interior of which is slidably connected to a latch, the outer side of which is sleeved with a spring, the middle of which is fixedly connected to a limit plate, and an L-shaped baffle installed on the top of the card box, which passes through the side wall of the card box and abuts against the limit plate.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The drainage mechanism includes a drainage pipe, and a filter is arranged inside the drainage pipe.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] The two fixing plates are both mounted on the side walls of the water tank, and sealing rings are mounted on the outer sides of both ends of the circular long cylinder close to the fixing plates.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] The water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank, and one end of the water inlet pipe away from the water pump is connected to an external water tank.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] The drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the water tank.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The card box is fixedly connected to the outside of the drainage pipe.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] The plug passes through the side wall of the drain pipe, and the end of the plug is inserted into the interior of the filter.
[0023] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, by adding a circular, long tube structure to the water tank, bending of the wires during the pre-cooling phase due to uneven heating or excessive cooling can be effectively avoided. The water holes within the circular tube ensure sufficient contact between the wires and the cooling water. The drainage mechanism also prevents suspended impurities in the water from adhering to the wire surface, preventing them from causing resistance or irregular cooling, thereby ensuring that the wires remain straight, dimensionally stable, and have a smooth surface.
[0025] 2. In the present invention, the cooling process of the wires inevitably produces tiny impurities, such as residue on the wire surface or sediment in the cooling water. If these impurities are not promptly removed, they will affect the cooling effect and equipment operation. By designing a snap-on quick-change filter device, the filter can be quickly removed and installed when changing the cooling water or for regular cleaning, effectively removing particles or contaminants accumulated during the cooling process. This design not only reduces the time cost of cleaning and maintenance, but also prevents damage to the water pump and pipes caused by impurity accumulation, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the production line.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] Reference Figure 1 The utility model provides an embodiment: a cooling water trough for timely cooling of wire extrusion, comprising a water trough 1, a cooling anti-rolling mechanism 5 is arranged inside the water trough 1, a water pump 2 is arranged at the rear of the water trough 1, the output end of the water pump 2 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 4, the input end of the water pump 2 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 3, the water outlet pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the water trough 1, and the end of the water inlet pipe 3 away from the water pump 2 is connected to the external water tank, the cooling anti-rolling mechanism 5 comprises two fixed plates 501, both of which are mounted on the side walls of the water trough 1, and sealing rings are fitted on the outer sides of both ends of the circular long cylinder 502 close to the fixed plates 501, and three circular long cylinders 502 with gradually decreasing inner diameters are installed between the two fixed plates 501, and a plurality of water holes 503 are opened inside the circular long cylinder 502.
[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, a water pump 2 is provided at the rear of the water tank 1, which can pump cooling water from the external water tank through the water inlet pipe 3 and send it into the interior of the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 4. Two fixed plates 501 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the water tank 1, and a circular long cylinder 502 with decreasing inner diameters is installed between the two fixed plates 501 to facilitate cooling of wires of different diameters and improve the working efficiency of the device. A plurality of water holes 503 are opened inside the circular long cylinder 502 to ensure stable contact between the cooling water and the wires.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 A drainage mechanism 6 is installed at the bottom of the side wall of the sink 1. The drainage mechanism 6 includes a drainage pipe 601, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the sink 1. A filter screen 602 is provided inside the drainage pipe 601. A quick-release mechanism 7 is provided on the outside of the drainage mechanism 6. The quick-release mechanism 7 includes a card box 701, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the drainage pipe 601. A latch 702 is slidably connected to the inside of the card box 701. The latch 702 passes through the side wall of the drainage pipe 601. The end of the latch 702 is inserted into the inside of the filter screen 602. A spring 703 is sleeved on the outside of the latch 702. The middle part of the latch 702 is fixedly connected to the limit plate 704. An L-shaped baffle 705 is installed on the top of the card box 701. The L-shaped baffle 705 passes through the side wall of the card box 701 and abuts against the limit plate 704.
[0035] Specifically, a drain pipe 601 is installed on the bottom side of the side wall of the water tank 1, and a filter 602 is installed inside the drain pipe 601 to filter the cooling water containing solid impurities in the water tank 1. In order to facilitate the replacement of the filter 602, a card box 701 is installed on the outside of the drain pipe 601. A latch 702 slides inside the card box. A limit plate 704 is fixed in the middle of the latch 702. The limit plate 704 is acted upon by a spring 703 sleeved on the outside of the latch 702 to provide a pressure relief to the latch 702. A force is applied toward the interior of the filter 602, allowing the latch 702 to penetrate the side wall of the drain pipe 601 and be inserted into the preset hole in the filter 602, thereby fixing the filter 602. When the filter 602 needs to be replaced, the latch 702 only needs to be pulled outward. As the limit plate 704 and the latch 702 move, the L-shaped baffle 705 loses its support and falls downward, eventually getting stuck on the end of the latch 702, making it difficult to move the latch 702. At this time, the filter 602 can be easily removed for replacement.
[0036] Working principle: Cooling water is pumped from an external water tank into the water tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 3 via the water pump 2, and is evenly distributed into the water tank 1 through the water outlet pipe 4, providing a stable cooling environment for the wires. A cooling anti-roll mechanism 5 is installed inside the water tank 1, comprising two fixing plates 501 fixed to the side walls of the water tank 1 and three circular cylinders 502 with decreasing inner diameters. These cylinders are adapted to wires of different diameters, ensuring that the wires have a stable path during the cooling process and are not disturbed by the water flow. The water holes 503 inside the cylinders increase the contact area between the cooling water and the wires, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. In addition, a drainage mechanism 6 is designed at the bottom of the water tank 1, and a filter 602 is installed in the drainage pipe 601 to filter the cooling water containing impurities. The filter 602 is fixed by a quick-release mechanism 7, and the pin 702 in the quick-release mechanism 7 is acted upon by a spring 703 to keep the filter 602 stable. To replace filter 602, simply pull latch 702 outward. Once latch 702 disengages filter 602, retaining plate 704 releases the filter 602, allowing easy removal and replacement. This overall design ensures uniform cooling, efficient impurity filtration, and convenient maintenance, improving both efficiency and reliability.
